I considered making this a silent post. Because words fail me when it comes to this cookie. Still, even though I will not be able to do justice, the sensations you feel when you take that first bite must be spoken of for posterity. This cookie is an out...

Ah the genius of cookie sticks! So versatile: you can dunk them into a delicious cookie dip, pack it as a lunch box treat or simply chomp on a couple as a midnight snack. Perfect with a glass of milk too. Simple to make and a perfect present for anyone....

You know I’m a drop cookie kinda girl – with the focus on taste and texture; a no fuss approach from dough to cookie. But sometimes (take the Holidays for instance) one needs to go beyond the basics and enter the realm of what can only be described as the...

I wouldn’t know where to begin when it comes to introducing Nancy. She is an extraordinary cook and baker with a flare for stunning photography and the best money saving tips when it comes to shopping for groceries. Her background of working at a grocery...

This recipe is for everyone. I love the traditional monster magic bars: you can’t possibly resist a Graham cracker crust with a gooey chocolate layer. But this one is just perfect for the child in you with oats, butter, nuts, cinnamon and chocolate coming...

At this point, I’m sure you think I’ve gone nuts with baking cookie cakes but I couldn’t help it. I mean, oreo stuffed ANYTHING should be shared right away. After baking the chocolate chip cookie cake and doing an M&M and chocolate chip version of it, I...

I have a question for all bakers (you qualify even if you bake occassionally): Do you have a jar that never runs out of cookies? I do. I try to make them in small batches so there is enough variety. It’s like a safety net, a box of joy to run back to. Is...

I’m thrilled to be guest posting for one of our very own Muffin Monday bakers, Lyn from The Lovely Pantry today. Her beautiful blog is a marriage of her two favorite hobbies – Cooking and Photography! A Jamaican mom who improvises recipes as she goes along,...

There are many tough decisions people have to make at every stage of your life. Some are life-changing, others make no difference. I’d like to think that picking a falvor once you’ve walked into an ice-cream parlour is somewhere in between. Standing there...

Today, I’m in the spotlight. Maureen of Orgasmic Chef grills me with questions and features me in her fabulous series on food writers, the theme of which is how food (cooking, baking or eating) sparks memories. And I have just the story to tell, a story...

Did you take a moment to let the title sink in? Let’s try again, slowly this time… Mascarpone. Oreo. Cookies. Yes, there is such a thing. I am not going to waste any adjectives describing how this cookie tastes. All I know is that when you bake it and take...

A bag of dried cherries in my pantry has been haunting me for weeks now, staring back forlornly every time I reach out to grab its neighbors. My first idea was to use it in a coffee cake. A few chopped up cherries in the streusel would have been fantastic...

After slacking off the last couple of months, there was no way I was going to miss this months’ #baketogether project. Abby posted a simple cheesecake recipe leaving it completely open for us personalize it. I love cheesecake. Cheesecake could be my Valentine....

A few month’s ago, I made four variations of an old classic; Chocolate Chip Cookies. For that first edition I had Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, Thin and Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies, Whole Wheat Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies and the heavenly...

One book. Two posts. I’ve baked you not one but two absolutely divine bars from Beth Lipton‘s You Made That Dessert. Her book has a scrumptious collection of recipes and great baking tips and tricks. Beth has very generously given permission to reprint...

Monday morning, the jar nearly empty. A blurry weekend: parties, friends, intoxication. What I baked was a simple chocolate chip cookie but sharing that as a post would not have been justified. Over the last few years I’ve been baking, I have tried many...

The one thing that must not ever run out in my house is cookies. When a batch is nearing its end, a very serious discussion of what should be baked next starts brewing. Opinions are divided. He’ll want a regular favorite, I want to experiment. Needless...

Cookie Bars are an old favorite. Simply put, they are a concoction of instantly-identifiable flavors put together over a caramelized graham cracker crust. When I decided to put together a post on cookie bars, it was hard to pick a first. They are all so...

The great thing about Facebook are the birthday reminders. Not so great? They tell you on the day itself. Right about then I realize that I have to bake a cake in double quick time. Other times, it’s a gift or a request by someone in the family… and this...
